Video has emerged of a person escaping almost certain death at Auckland's Mt Eden train station on Friday morning.
The train driver had to apply the emergency brakes after the pedestrian crossed in front of the train just milliseconds before it passed.
Auckland Transport manager Craig Inger says everyone needs to take care when crossing tracks.
"It's really important that that you check both directions before crossing, a train can come from either direction," he says.
"We've checked the footage of this morning's incident and we can see the woman checked to her right before crossing but not to her left and that's where the train was coming from."
